Hello,
My mum started showing signs of Alzheimer's at the age of about 45. Now 13 years later she is what I imagine is the late stages, however all her other organs are healthy as ever so we suspect quite a few more years for her.
I am 26 next month, and just lately I have been doing the sort of things my mum did in her early days. I have forgotten to put the detergent tablets in the washing machine and washed the clothes. I am forgetting to do things at work, like ring a customer back after sorting out their issue, and yesterday I left the burner on the stove on and went to work, my fiance noticed it on when we got home and the t-towel just a few inches away! I am not sure what to do or think of these recent events. With my mum we put her forgetfulness down to menopause, getting old etc which delayed diagnosis.
I am normally a very organised person with everything in order, and lately things seem to be flustering me. Should I put it down to a series of mishaps and ignore it or go to the doctor? I feel a bit silly about the whole thing. Would really appreciate your advise.
